The popular long-running crime series Midsomer Murders is back for a new season. Based on the novels of Caroline Graham, the program boasts a lush visual style, quirky characters, ubiquitous red herrings, and a rural countryside reminiscent of classic public television British mysteries of the past.

Return to England’s deadliest villages for a ninth season of cozy and confounding crimes. When two house hunters are garroted outside a reputedly haunted cottage in picturesque Midsomer Newton, DCI Tom Barnaby (John Nettles) and PC Ben Jones (Jason Hughes) are called to the scene. Although no one lives in the property, many locals seem to be fiercely protective of it, including a tight-lipped real estate agent, a ruthless conservation group and a pair of self-proclaimed preservation experts who harbor a blood-curdling collection of artifacts.
